operation sequence/order
Step 1: Observe the facial color.
Color is an important index to reflect the qi and blood condition of human body. By observing the complexion, we can preliminarily judge whether the human body is full of qi and blood and whether there are lesions. Chinese medicine believes that the complexion should be ruddy and shiny. If the face is yellow, white and blue, it means that there are problems such as insufficient blood, internal injuries due to cold and heat.
Step 2: Observe the facial morphology.
Facial morphology is an important index to reflect the condition of human viscera. By observing the facial morphology, we can preliminarily judge whether the human viscera are healthy or not. Chinese medicine believes that the face should have correct facial features and clear facial contours. If the face is too fat, too thin, too wide and too narrow, it means that there is a problem of visceral dysfunction.
Step 3: Observe facial lines.
Facial line is an important index to reflect the running condition of human qi and blood. By observing facial lines, we can preliminarily judge whether the qi and blood flow of human body is smooth. Chinese medicine believes that facial lines should be delicate and clear. Such as fuzzy facial lines, different shades, crisscross and so on. It shows that there is a problem of poor blood circulation.
final result
The above are the operation steps of face-to-face diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine. By observing the complexion, facial morphology and facial lines, we can preliminarily judge the qi and blood status, viscera status and qi and blood operation status of the human body. Of course, face-to-face diagnosis is only one aspect of TCM diagnosis, and it needs to be combined with comprehensive analysis such as tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis to make an accurate diagnosis.
